      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Since people seemed interested, I thought I may as well share my thoughts. Feel free to let me know if you disagree, even if you aren’t a huge soccer fan.<br />
<br />
In regards to the discussion about elite athletes going into other sports in America and the effect on soccer in the United States, I’ll first make it clear that I obviously do think having more elite athletes playing soccer would be beneficial. Having a larger talent pool to choose from would no doubt improve things. I actually used to...<br />

<br />
First topic is grocery bills. I’m 29, not yet married and no kids. While I’m probably not a smart shopper per se, I’d imagine I spend less than the average person in my shoes. I’d love to know what you guys with 2+ growing kids are spending on groceries these days. Was at a friends house the other day who has 3 and I opened the fridge and it just hit me how much he’s probably...<br />

<br />
That said, as I watch the US Championships, I&#039;m really liking the future of the American athletes on the track, particularly on the men&#039;s sprint side. I think we might take back that momentum from the Bolt led Jamaican Golden Age. UT&#039;s own Christian Coleman may even bring us another 100m title. In fact, I would be surprised if he didn&#039;t in a month....<br />
